That is an extra special combination of vileness and stupidity

I know, right? When I read 'island' I was thinking population must be tiny, but no, 87K.

The phrase "you and whose army?" comes to mind.

Nothing about this was ever grounded in reality.

MOO

This is horrific, obviously. But I am just laughing that these two fools thought they were just going to rock up on a little boat, single-handedly kill approximately 40,000 men and then successfully kidnap another 40,000-50,000 women and children. I mean like, where to? And on their little dinghy? 😂

rsbm - If the plan weren't so shockingly evil it would be one of those "bless their dear hearts" situations. I honestly lol'd at some of their "preparations," especially when they failed spectacularly at basically every single thing they tried to do.

Props for sticking with the Haitian Creole courses though, guys! At least that was one semi-sensible (and educational!) thing.

Where do people like this come from, anyway?

Yeah, usually colonising genocidal people don't bother to learn the language. They just assume violence will be enough. I wonder why they thought it so important.

In the article in post #1 it's mentioned that the duo planned to recruit homeless people from the D.C. area to help them with their "coup". Even if they would have succeeding in hiring people, and successfully manage a "coup", I suspect that those recruits would see to that the duo's lives were to be cut short.

I'm telling you... if I was not from planet earth and came for a visit, I'd not only want to get back to my SANE planet PRONTO... but I would seriously think humans were freaking nuts, not very smart, and dangerous.

Beam me up, Scotty!! It's time to GO!!!

That sounds reminiscent of that psycho Jim Jones and Jonestown mass murder/suicides. He was a grifter that lured homeless, poverty stricken, blue collar folks into believing he was creating a utopia.

People are getting crazier by the minute. What good are brains if they aren't used?

They hold the ears apart.

Good on LE for putting a stop to this before these geniuses could hurt anyone, most likely themselves.

It all probably seemed like such a "good idea at the time" through some kind of extra-pharmaceutical haze.

And by 'extra-pharmaceutical haze', mostly I mean general stupidity.

Spectacular stupidity, really.

i’m sorry…. WHAT?

I just cannot wrap my brain around how on earth they thought this would ever work. As if the almost-90,000 strong populace of the island would just lie down and die? As if none of the homeless people they were trying to involve would have a conscience and draw the line? I just...I don't know how you get to this weapons-grade level of stupidity.

Nope. Only approximately half that amount. Men were to be killed off (~40K) and woman and children enslaved (~50K).

Right, so they thought, but...were they thinking the men would cheerfully march off to the slaughter? And that none of the women, or even children, would attempt self-defense or the defense of others? They would have had to deal with 87k people in one fashion or another, and... we've seen some stupid people on here, but I don't grasp how on earth one gets to be THEIR level of stupid.

I'm convinced that the average IQ has dropped to 40 in the last decade. smh
